HEARTLESS DESERT
A MAN DECEIVIS HIS WIFE,
With WHOM HE HAS LIVED
Happily for Several Years to all Ip'
pearances, by Telling Her
Deliberate Lie.
HE NOT ONLY FORSAKES HER,
BUT TAKES
Their Little Child With Him-The
Poor Woman Declares She
was a True Wife.
JsprorAL TO TIE APrIAL.I

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June ia case
Of heartless deeertion was developed
here today by the presence Of Mrs.
Turner, OF Waverly. Three years ago
she was married to Turner, the son Of
q prosperous farmer living near Wa
verify, in Humphreys county. IN the
course Of time little girl baby came
to bless them. Last Tuesday morning
Turner left home, kissing his wife and
child, and promising to return shortly.
He came according to promise, and
was met at the gate by his wife, who
greeted him affectioDately. Turner was
accompanied by his brother, who lives
about twelve miles from Waverly.
After entering the house the husband
announced that he had decided to
move to q town in Kentucky, where
he intended to open Sstore. The wife
sgteed to his plans, and he told her to
pack her clothing. This she did with
q light heart. She was instructed by her
husband to pack the baby's clothes In
a vslise. The husband then, in her
presence, sold all the furniture
to his brother. After everything
was ready the wife went to
her wash woman to get some
other clothing. Returning, she found
that Turner's brother and the baby
had disappeared. The husband said
the little one had gone out for short
ride and would soon return. The hus-
band then went up town, and in the
course of an hour q boy brought the
wife note from her husband. The
note informed her that he and the
baby had left Waverly, and that she
would never see them again. He said
she had made true and faithful wife,
but he did not or could not love her,
and had decided to leave the country.
Mrs Turner at once made inquiries
but could learn nothing OF her miss
ing husband and child. She came to
this city for advice, having heard that
her husband and child had come this
way. She was advised to first locate
the child and then have it brought
into court on writ of habess corpus.
Mrs. Turner returned home last night.
Turner is travelling man for large
Eastern medicine house. Parties here
who know the people say they are
well connected.

War Department for safe keeping, to-

in our hands during the late civil war.
While in the past favorable action has
always been taken Oh application
properly supported for the return OF
Union flags to organic atoms represent
ing survivors OF the military regiments
in the service of the government,
beg to submit that it would be
a graceful act to anticipate fut-

venture to suggest the propriety OF
returning the flags Union and Con-

spe ctive States in which the regiment

may determine. While, in all OF the
civilized nations of the old world, tro.
pixies taken in wars against foreign
enemies, have been carefully preserv-
ed and exhibited as proud memeDtoes
of the nations military glory, wise and
obvious reasons have always except-
ed from the rule evidences of the past
internscine troubles, which, by APP
peals to the arbitration Of the sword,
have disturbed the peaceful march of

Over twenty years have elapsed
since the termination OF the late civil
war. Many OF the prominent leaders,
civil and military, of the late Oonfed-
crate States are now honored repre-
sentatives Of the people in the ma
tional councils, or in other eminent po-
sitions lend the aid of their talents to
the wise administration of the affairs
of the whole country, and the people
of the several States composing the
Union are now united treading the
broader road to glorious future. I'm
pressed with these facts, have the
honor to submit the suggestion made
in this letter for the careful considera-
ton it will receive at your hands.
Very truly yours, R. c. DRUM,

The indorsement of the Secretary of
War upon this letter is as follows:

proved by the President and the Adj

to return them as herein proposed,

An Active Evening I'm Crimina

n u AGeAvC -
Circles.
Between the hours of 8 and IL
O'Clock last night police matters were
rather more active than has been the
case for some time past. The first
occurrence of importance was the cap
ture of thirteen Chinese tan players
in gambling den on Niger Alley.
Chief Darcy, accompanied by Ser
geants Jeffries and Moffit and Officers
Mackel and Boland, caught the Celes-
tials unawares and tied them together
with rope to insure their safe arrival
at the police station. Sergeant JEFF
fries was assisting one of the thirteen
to move ia that direction when All
Gen, who had been watching the pro-
ceedings, drew large knife, and at
tempted, by an upward lunge,
to thrust it into Jeffries' stom--
ach. He was promptly seized
and charged with assault to kill. The
gamblers were allowed to depart on
the I ayment OF $50 apiece.
Sergeant Jeffries took a second trip
into the neighborhood, and with the as
sistance of the same officers raided a
negro house of prostitution, at No.
146 Also street, capturing five females
and three white men, including Ben
Adler. The females were allowed to
go upon depositing So each, and the
white men were charged $40 each.
A few minutes later Officer Lee cap
tured J. F. Hostetter emerging from
the Schooner Saloon with Il sand bag
hidden under his coat. He was
charged with carrying concealed
weapons.
